Sorry for asking a commercial ammunition question here, but what is considered to be the most reliable feeding .22 produced?

Gee I never had any trouble with any of it feeding, most feeding problums are the guns falt.

Usually feeding isn't a problem with .22 rimfire. Extraction can be. Reliable extraction - with respect to the cartridge itself - is often a function of the rim thickness and the manufacturer's variance of said rim thickness. In my test and measurement of a wide variety of .22 rimfire ammo for accuracy and reliability I found Eley and CCI to be the most consistent.

Everything I have tried in all my .22's works just fine. If you are having a problem with feeding, then I suggest you check-out the firearm.

The most accurate .22 I have found in most circumstances is Eley, but who wants to pay $6 a box for plinking ammo?

On the other hand, I use nothing but CCI Stingers in all my .22's. They have the "oomph" and the accuracy capability that any of my .22's can deliver.
